HubSpot – Social Media Management

Social media is a goldmine for marketers. It is through these platforms that your content gets publicity. To get desired results, you need to include social media marketing in your content marketing campaign. 👍👍


HubSpot schedules your posts, manages the likes, comments, and shares. You can also analyse your brand mentions and conversations. Through this, you can see where your customers mention you and how they see your brand. HubSpot also enables you to reply to your customers when they ask you questions related to products or services. 🙂🙂


Other than social media monitoring, HubSpot offers other tools helpful in your content marketing campaigns. Therefore, you can use this tool at its fullest.


Grammarly – Unmistakable Content

If you have included blogging or issuing press releases in your content marketing strategy, then Grammarly is a must have tool for you. It reduces errors and mistakes in your blogs. ✅✅


No one appreciates blogs or articles laden with spelling or grammatical errors. It leaves a bad impression and ruins your brand reputation. Your blogs would be difficult to understand, and soon, would start having inverse effects.


Meet Grammarly. This tool completely rules out your spelling mistakes and improves your tone. If English is not your first language, then Grammarly is a savior for you. There are chances that simple errors can be missed by human eyes. Grammarly rules out the necessity of having an editor and delivers greater results. 🏆🏆

Canva – Stunning Visuals


How will you grab your audiences' attention? You may have a fantastic content but no one directly starts reading articles. So how will you get your audience to read your content?


Well, it is through images that people decide to read an article or not. Visuals are processed way quicker by the human brain than text. Images create the first and foremost impression of your content. Get them right and your whole content seems right. 💫💫


Canva is one such tool which enables you to create stunning and spectacular images for your content. Use your creativity and come up with the most beautiful picture in the world. There are no bounds for imagination with this tool.
